Reply to comment by hate_mail in Why Stephen King wrote under the pseudonym Richard Bachman? by Beneficial_Daikon886

And ironically, a major newspaper wrote in review of these books, "This is how Stephen King would write if Stephen King knew how to write."

For real? That's fantastic and immediately shows how biased reviews can be.

> For real?

No. I can only trace this quote back to this article written by the guy who discovered that King was Bachman. The original quote itself isn't from a major newspaper review. It's a quote from King himself, quoting what he claims he'd heard a reader for the Literary Guild, a sort of mailed book-of-the-month club, had said.
